Nuance and Elegance

In reviewing my game files I can see that my game lacks elegance. I am getting better than I was before I started playing on the kisdeo go server (kgs go server as it is redundantly and popularly known). I am starting to move in ways that deny a base trusting that when the fighting does start my opponent cannot live as opposed to trollishly attaching to his stones hoping to out-duel him. When I read comments on professional games I still can't see why they allow some situations to develop. I realize that higher ranked players than myself don't capture as many stones as I do. This is an elegant game and I rely on brute strength. Any suggestions on books to read?
